LoMenzo Confesses: Why Mustaine Finally Put the Metallica Ghost to Rest
from Chris Akin Presents · host The CMS Network
The war isn’t over; it just moved into the studio. James LoMenzo just pulled back the curtain on why Dave Mustaine decided to hijack a Metallica classic for Megadeth’s final statement. Was it a tribute, or the most calculated “spider-chord” flex in thrash history? If you think you know the story of the 1983 fallout, you haven’t heard how it ends.👉 JOIN THE VIP INNER CIRCLE: https://classicmetalshow.locals.com* Mustaine’s “Spider-Chord” Revenge* LoMenzo’s Eyebrow-Raising Revelation* Reclaiming the 1984 Masterpiece* The Final Album: Closing the 40-Year Circle🔥 SPONSOR GEAR:* Metallica 88-94: https://amzn.to/4phEFBg* Black Sabbath 70-75: https://amzn.to/4oUeEIg* Motley Crue Dr. Feelgood 35th: https://amzn.to/3Je81AA📚 CHRIS AKIN’S VAULT:* Cause & Effect Metallica: https://amzn.to/4fjrLzN🛒 OFFICIAL MERCH:* CMS All Black Mug: https://classicmetalshow.creator-spring.com/listing/the-cms-all-black-mug(As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.)* Cameo (Custom Video): https://www.cameo.com/chrisakin* Substack (Audio Feed): * Follow on X: https://www.x.com/cmsrocks* Saturday Night Live: THE CLASSIC METAL SHOW is Live Saturdays 9pm-3am EST on Rumble/Locals.
